Colonel Biscoe’s proposals:- (
(a) No objection to transfer of Moharamerah from his
jurisdiction so long as "for the remainder of the period
that, the Resident remains in Persia" he may visit hohammerah

It might be desirable to establish in his case also a
convention similar to that which the Foreign Office are

can be put to the Government of India.

extend along the Persian Gulf littoral from the limits of
Khuzistan as far as the Persian frontier".
